So lately, I’ve been feeling like I’m being called to work with Naamah for several things and I’ve been wanting to invoke her. But I’m living with people that aren’t exactly accepting. It’s not a bad situation but its not very convenient. This usually wouldn’t be an issue but lately it’s become more difficult to keep things discrete. They’re very sensitive to smells so incense is out of the question, candles bring too much attention (I do use some tea lights candles since they don’t shine nearly as much and I like altoid tins for sigils or imagery) and I don’t have as much privacy to do anything too elaborate for too long, even at night.
Most things I’ve read about working with Naamah implies something more complicated if you’re starting out and obviously I wouldn’t want to offend her if I can’t follow them. Moving isn’t going to be possible for a little while. Has anyone here worked with or invoked her with little to no tools? Or would it be better to find a temporary space?

You don’t need tools or elaborate rituals of any kind!
All magick is in the mind. All you need is your mind. Your subconscious mind is the gateway to the astral realm.
By searching BALG, you can find many examples and tutorials of this:
Not everyone can openly use magickal tools because of the people around them or attitudes to magick where they live, and some people just prefer not to use them, so for situations where you can’t use a magick wand, pendulum, or healing crystal, your fingers will make an effective substitute.
This is a beginner-friendly (I hope!
Hi all,
Given my recent success with Paimon, I’ve been readily preparing for college. Living in dorms, with people -mundane people…etc. I have run into a complication though, 1) my new dorm is not going to be big enough to house my ritual tools, and 2) I’m not going to be able to openly practice with the beady eyes of random students looking in on me. So the problem that I have is that my entire ritual set is gonna have to stay in my current home. Which means I’ll have no candles, chalice, a…
how to? is it possible? you see, i’m worried that my roommate is going to find out about my activities and do too some certain situation he can legally throw me in the loony bin. so, how do you do magic when you can’t have a bunch of black candles and leather bound books with reverse pentagrams on the cover?
I know similar questions have been asked before, but my question is quite specific, so I figure I’d post it. At my home, there is no place or means for an altar or a temple, etc. The only thing I might be able to work with is a candle. Anyway, on to my question. Will the magick work if I create the altar in my mind and not on the physical plane?
Ok, an example, I’ve been reading the Works of Darkness (still new to Koetting’s books and this is my first one), and when I came across the ritual for…
so i wanted to call upon the archangel haniel for help some private stuff
i had the idea so i walked torward my bedroom and finding out my empty altar with nothing on it ,no candles,no tools,not sigils,no scrying mirrors,no nothing!
but ant’harratu popped at my head and said
“the real work begins,the use of mind,the mind is all”
so i did a shower awake my soul using this:
then called haniel i focused on haniel and had clear intetion
i heard by ant’harratu saying
“clear your statements …
… of magick.
YES that was clickbait, however, to all new magicians:
The most important tool for the new magician isn’t a wicked cool chalice, a 800$ hard cover grimoire, a 500 year old dagger, or a human skull. Fancy wands, cool bling, robes, masks, or EA’s wicked T-shirts are not (initially) magickal either, although there is some debate about EA’s shirts granting Wisdom +1 , but that’s another story.

Magic works because of your connection to this world and to the currents that flow…
So a few days ago I posted that I was doing healing and health divinations. One member asked me if I needed a photo or them to be in a position or altered state etc.
I’ve never thought to need or require those things…it got me wondering are those tools truly nessecary? Or are they things we set up for ourselves to focus or this GS we think we need to perform the art?
I have attempted to evoke before with two black candles and a sigil. I don’t even know if the entity was there or maybe an entity was impersonating it.
I never thought candles were necessary or even the sigil to successfully evoke the spirit. Because the doubt doesn’t exist, I can believe more and it work. I can probably do it lying in my bed and just thinking about the entity.
I just need to know if I really am talking to it.
Meaning, have you done it without the triangle? A Mirror? Even just used only the sigil of the spirit and what happened? Did you have success, failure, did it not seem to make a difference , somewhere in between?
When I was homeless living on the streets, staying in homeless shelters, and sleeping on people’s sofas I had no tools. All I used was my imagination, intent and will. I already had the gift of lucid dreaming, visualization and meditation. I used all of these to do my work.
To this day, this is mostly all I use. Pieces of paper with sigils, a knife as an athame, a candle and sticks of incense. Other than that, I leave offerings to the nature spirits and at a crossroads for Papa Legba. And, I do…

I agree with everyone that you don’t need any tools , I live alone yet don’t use any alters and the spirits always arrive
